Small Change Is Relative

[bigwheelzip]

New gold coin from the Swiss Mint, claims to be the world's smallest. Less than an eighth inch in diameter, and one five-hundreth of an ounce.
Has the famous image of Albert Einstein sticking out his tongue on the face.

If my currency converter app is working right, it’s about $0.25, a quarter?

Schweitzer had nothing on Gene Simmons on sticking out their tongues.

I never stick out my tongue unless a doctor asks to check it.

What a strange image for a coin!

I seldom see gold coins, but an acquaintance recently showed me some. They're beautiful. I think the smallest I've seen is the half size Krugerrand.

Gold at about $1500/oz, I’d calculate around $3.

I'm buying mine from Onomea.

I would like to have a few!

Nominal value about $.26, gold value about $3.00, Swiss Mint is selling these for about $200.00. I think I won’t be buying any.

There was an old joke years ago about a German firm that had made wire 1/10 of a human hair in diameter. They sent a sample to a Swiss competitor. The Swiss sent it back a week later with a hole bored through it lengthwise ;-)

Your article states it is a limited edition of 999 coins, and includes a "special" magnifying glass. Must be "really" special for that price.
Not such a good investment but it'll make a good present for Einstein fans.

"According to Swissmint, 999 of the coins have been made, and a single coin will be sold for 199 francs and accompanied with a special magnifying glass so owners can see Einstein."
